The Problem and Solution for the Plan for Economic Development with Artists

By Wilbur Corncob at 07/26/07 09:22

The first problem with the economic development plan for making Oil City into some kind of artists heaven is simple the first though many people will have is "starving artists". True or not it has a very negative connotation.

The second problem is actually the real problem and that is the plan is too limited. An economic development plan should be broad rather than a narrow beam.

Why limit ourselves to "starving" artists when there are many independent business people that could flourish in the evironment of Oil City.

Especially those in technologically related fields. Anything internet or software development related would be perfect in Oil City. Not to dimish artists in anyway, but these fields have the potentional to conduct business around the world from Oil City and possibly develop singificantly beyond a one or two "man" operation.

Let's take the artists plan and expand it to include all micro businesses that people might operate out of their houses; especially those that sell their services to people in other areas.
